DYK for Tandon v. Newsom

[edit]

On 1 May 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Tandon v. Newsom, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the midnight shadow docket order in Tandon v. Newsom was called the most important religious free exercise decision in 30 years? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Tandon v. Newsom. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Tandon v. Newsom), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Update: New Event-Organizer Tools for You on English Wikipedia!

[edit]

Hello,

I hope you're doing well! As an event coordinator on English Wikipedia, I’m happy to share some news with you. You now have the event-organizer right! This gives you access to the CampaignEvents extension, a powerful set of tools to help you organize and promote events and WikiProjects more easily. With the CampaignEvents extension, you can:

  • Manage event registration directly on English Wikipedia.
  • Use the Invitation List tool to find potential participants for your events/WikiProjects
  • Receive automatic promotion of your events via the Collaboration List

Learn more on mw:Help:Extension:CampaignEvents

Now that I have your attention, I’d also like to share some updates to the extension:

  • The Collaboration List can now be transcluded, meaning you can easily embed it on other wiki pages to share event details with more people by adding {{Special:AllEvents}}. Learn more.
  • Admins can now determine which namespaces are permitted for Event Registration on English Wikipedia, via Special:CommunityConfiguration. Right now, the Event namespace is permitted by default for Event Registration. However, other namespaces (such as Wikipedia, WikiProject, etc) can now be added as permitted namespaces by admins too. This can help other types of organized activities, such as WikiProjects, use Event Registration.For details, please visit: Permitted_namespaces

If you need help using these new tools, I’m here to support you. Feel free to reach out for guidance. You can also find some useful video guides on Commons.

We’re excited to see how you use these tools for WikiProjects or events! If you have any questions, please let me know.

A wikitext question

[edit]

on my screen PC (vector 2022), the side stuff fix into the empty side areas of the screen past the main menu. Is there away to limit sticky deco of the amounts it can follow scrolling up or to contract, to preserve it? if it was regular html I could get it to work (without removal) but it is quite limited on Wikipedia and i'm not totally sure what's possible even after research. Also were you on mobile or a some kind of smaller screen? JamesEMonroe (talk) 06:59, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

here it is as I see it JamesEMonroe (talk) 07:05, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
sorry if you don't know how to. here is the minimum it seems to be accessible without using side info. I wanted to use class nomobile but IDK if that will fix it or how implement it
. this is with removed side tools and stuff. but it still might be different for others. sorry for using up your time on this to help me. even if its not for the user page ill still would like to learn ^^ JamesEMonroe (talk) 07:21, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry for talking to myself but I got the no mobile working! (though there's decals to also remove aswell with it. but I would as i said wish I could limit how far sticky deco goes. Also to put clutter clear and talk page at the highest level hierarchically while also not being at the bottom of the page. Sorry for my stubbornness to keep the siding instead of removing it ~ but I do hope there is a way to maintain some level of accessibility. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JamesEMonroe (talkcontribs) 07:30, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm on a Macbook on Chrome. The empty space only appears if the window is wide enough and the appearance toggle isn't on "wide". I don't know of any simple solutions other than just removing it. SilverLocust (Jenson) 07:54, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ah ok. well I was able to make some improvements. ill try to see if there more of a better way.
I made sure the alternative talk button is always on top as well as clutter clear.
im abit uneasy putting a talk button ontop of already talk button because I dont know if it will get misaligned or if they will have a user script that would make it look werid.
much of the deco for mobile users is disabled under class nomobile also. desktop mode on mobile also looks fine.
I might just solidify part of the deco down possibly
Would this suffice for now? JamesEMonroe (talk) 08:16, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
